We show that for an elliptic curve E defined over a number field K, the group E(A) of points of E over the adele ring A of K is a topological group that can be analyzed in terms of the Galois representation associated to the torsion points…

The objective of this paper is to further study the anabelian object referred to as \emph{pointed virtual curves}. Building upon previous work that investigated these fundamental-group-theoretic pullbacks of Galois sections in the…

Let $K$ be an extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ and $A/K$ an elliptic curve. If $\mathrm{Gal}(\bar K/K)$ is finitely generated, then $A$ is of infinite rank over $K$. In particular, this implies the $g=1$ case of the Junker-Koenigsmann conjecture.…

The cuspidalization conjecture emerged as an approach of Grothendieck's famous section conjecture. We address a weak form of it by using a mild generalization of a theorem of Uwe Jannsen which describes exactly when the $l$-adic homology of…

Let $X$ be a curve over a field $k$ finitely generated over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $t$ an indeterminate. We prove that, if $s$ is a section of $\pi_{1}(X)\to\operatorname{Gal}(k)$ such that the base change $s_{k(t)}$ is birationally liftable,…

Grothendieck gave two forms of his "main conjecture of anabelian geometry", i.e. the section conjecture and the hom conjecture. He stated that these two forms are equivalent and that if they hold for hyperbolic curves then they hold for…

Let k be a global field, $\bar{k}$ a separable closure of k, and $G_k$ the absolute Galois group $\Gal(\bar{k}/k)$ of $\bar{k}$ over k. For every g in $G_k$, let $\bar{k}^g$ be the fixed subfield of $\bar{k}$ under g. Let E/k be an elliptic…

Faltings' theorem [Fal83],[Fal91] (formerly the Mordell conjecture [Mo22]) states that a curve of genus greater than one over any number field has only finitely many points. Again a natural question is how many points can such a curve have.…

In this article, we show that in each of four standard families of hyperelliptic curves, there is a density-$1$ subset of members with the property that their Jacobians have adelic Galois representation with image as large as possible. This…

We show that the existence of rational points on smooth varieties over a field can be detected using homotopy fixed points of etale topological types under the Galois action. As our main example we show that the surjectivity statement in…

Suppose that C is a smooth, projective, geometrically connected curve of genus g > 2 defined over a number field K. Suppose that x is a K-rational point of C. Denote the Lie algebra of the unipotent completion (over Q_ell) of the…

Let $K$ be the function field of a $p$-adic curve, $G$ a semisimple simply connected group over $K$ and $X$ a $G$-torsor over $K$. A conjecture of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene, Parimala and Suresh predicts that if for every discrete valuation $v$ of…

Let $K$ be a field finitely generated over the field of rational numbers, $K(c)$ the extension of $K$ obtained by adjoining all roots of unity, $L$ an infinite Galois extension of $K$, $X$ an abelian variety defined over $K$. We prove that…

In this article we consider outer Galois actions on a free profinite group of rank two, induced by the \'etale fundamental group of a projective line minus three points or of a pointed elliptic curve over a number field. Under mild…

Let $K$ be a number field, $A/K$ be an absolutely simple abelian variety of CM type, and $\ell$ be a prime number. We give explicit bounds on the degree over $K$ of the division fields $K(A[\ell^n])$, and when $A$ is an elliptic curve we…

Let $K$ be a field whose absolute Galois group is finitely generated. If $K$ neither finite nor of characteristic 2, then every hyperelliptic curve over $K$ with all of its Weierstrass points defined over $K$ has infinitely many $K$-points.…

We present a conjecture in Diophantine geometry concerning the construction of line bundles over smooth projective varieties over $\bar{\mathbb Q}}$. This conjecture, closely related to the Grothendieck Period Conjecture for cycles of…

A smooth geometrically connected curve over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with gonality $\gamma$ has at most ${\gamma(q+1)}$ rational points. The first author and Grantham conjectured that there exist curves of every sufficiently large…

It is known that for a curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ of genus $g \leq 4$, there exists a point on the curve defined over a solvable extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. We relate points on curves of genus $g \geq 5$ over solvable extensions to the…

We prove that every hyperbolic curve with a faithful action of a non-cyclic $p$-group (with a few exceptions if $p=2$) has a twisted form of index $1$ which satisfies Grothendieck's section conjecture. Furthermore, we prove that for every…
